Solution Overview

Problem

Existing video processing methods struggle to effectively combine local and global features for improved expression and accuracy in applications such as video classification and query, often relying on end-to-end CNN or Transformer-based approaches that do not fully leverage the benefits of both types of features.

Innovation Solution

A method involving a Video Swin-Transformer model that extracts local and global features through multiple receptive fields, merging them using a cross-attention mechanism to enhance the video's feature representation, thereby improving accuracy in video classification and query tasks.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If multiple receptive fields are used to extract video features, then the expression ability of features is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefeature expression abilityVSAvoidmodel structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the feature extraction process into multiple parallel branches, each handling a different receptive field size. The video processing model is segmented into several feature extraction paths that operate independently and then merge their outputs, allowing comprehensive feature capture without overwhelming complexity in a single path.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces the dimension of receptive field size as an additional variable in the feature extraction process. By varying the receptive field dimension across multiple branches and then merging them, the system captures features at multiple scales simultaneously, enhancing expression ability without linearly increasing complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Manufacturing precision

If local and global features are merged, then the accuracy of downstream applications is improved, but the difficulty of detecting and measuring increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevideo processing accuracyVSAvoidfeature integration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDifficulty of detecting and measuring

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an attention mechanism as an intermediary component that selectively weights and integrates local and global features. This intermediary layer manages the complexity of merging features by dynamically determining which features are most relevant, simplifying the integration process while maintaining high accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent dynamically adjusts the weighting parameters of local and global features through the attention mechanism. By changing these parameters based on the input content, the system optimizes the fusion of features for different video scenarios, improving accuracy without requiring manual tuning of complex integration rules.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
